The story of a nest of vampires shaking the world of soccer is brought to life by the fascinating characters of the book which include the Transylvanian vampires of Professor Cezar Prodanescu and his evil understudy Andrei Botezatu, some silky-footed vampires/footballers from Brazil, local hero and team captain Johnny Knox, Tourette’s sufferer and lovable rogue Vincent “Bruiser” Bradshaw, the 80s loving central-defender Jody Roper, Kung Fu expert Charlie Cheng, Jamaican goalkeeper Alvin Braxton, ex-jailbird Gerry Spalding and Kingsbarr United superfan/vampire slayer Gene Macgoree.

To help you get an initial feel for this unique vampire/football novel please take a look at the book’s blurb with a couple of extracts:

The blurb for the book reads as follows:

When Birmingham football club Kingsbarr United are relegated from the English Premier League they are seemingly rescued by a mysterious new manager from Transylvania, Professor Cezar Prodanescu and his stable of young superstars – who also happen to be a nest of vampires! Once darkness falls and the floodlights glow, their powers enable United to win games by incredible margins. Buried nearby is the world’s first vampire and Cezar’s plan is to resurrect a clone from the extracted DNA of his ancient bones. But Cezar did not legislate for falling in love with human girl, Lily, or for acquiring such admiration for team captain and local hero Johnny Knox and United’s other human footballers. But as Cezar struggles with his emotions and attempts to shield his identity as a master vampire, his finest example, star striker Andrei is eager to keep things on course. But will the cloning of the world’s first vampire materialise? Will Cezar lead United back to Premiership glory? Does Cezar hold any answers for the disappearance of Johnny’s long lost son? And when the evil Andrei takes a shine to Johnny’s teenage daughter, a dramatic showdown ensues in a desperate bid to rescue her – and the entire human race.

Extract 1 from Beneath The Floodlights:

Afina hadn’t even had time to scream but as the vampire sank his teeth into the left side of her neck her fear was quickly replaced by a strange and overpowering state of arousal. With every drop of blood that was sucked from her veins the state of arousal increased and she soon lost the notion to fight against the vampire’s clutches. As she grew weaker the vampire quenched his thirst for human blood and he gently allowed Afina to drop to the floor in a state of bliss unconciousness.

As the vampire looked up he noticed the lift doors open once more to reveal a figure as ghostly white as him in appearance. His hair was distinguishing grey in colour and styled to masculine perfection. He purred with the aura of power and charisma.

“Well done Andrei, I have taught you well I see.”

The vampire grinned revealing his fangs once more only this time, like the rest of his mouth, they were coloured by the red of Afina’s blood.

“Thank you Master. I am glad that I please you.”

Extract 2 from Beneath The Floodlights:

“So is it the all white kit then?” enquired Johnny.

“No, Johnny we now have a fourth kit, financed and designed by yours truly. As you will have noticed on your pegs, you each have a clothes carrier hanging upon them. Unzip it and the contents shall be revealed to you.” And with saying that the players proceeded to obediently follow Cezar’s instructions, curious to what they would find.

The clothes carrier that shielded the kit was itself impressive, black in colour with the Kingsbarr United crest of three crowns elegantly placed to the left of the zipper in gold embroidery.

As one by one the kit revealed itself from within the individual carriers it was Johnny who spoke first. “Hey, red I like it,” said Johnny. “It’s an unusual shade actually.”

“Indeed it is Johnny. I like to refer to it as blood red.”
